Review:
Residenzplatz (Residence Square) is a large, stately square in the heart of Salzburg's Old City. The square is named after the Residenz building of the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg and is bordered by the Salzburg Cathedral, the Old Residence, and row of townhouses. Built by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, the square is home to a beautifully decorated baroque fountain known as the Residence Fountain. The spectacular water feature boasts four snorting horses springing forth from the spouting rock, and Triton in his conch-shell trumpet surrounded by dolphins and giants rooted in the rock. Residence Square is a popular venue for celebrations and events such as live concerts, music events, and football games.
